There is very little room as the seats are narrow and I am only 72KGs.Heaven help anyone who is large. Only 2 toilets for all economy passengers meant there was constant queues and not particularly clean. Food was ordinary. Not a particularly pleasant or comfortable flight.May have to try the competition next time.

I sat in row 19 and the seat pitch for a 186cm man had my knees buried in the seat in front.
I have an issue with the half hearted attempted by a supposed "full service airline" at providing a meal on board. A small chocolate bar and a cup of coffee that might have looked the right colour but had no flavour. Virgin Australia obviously has no idea what being a "full service airline" means......

Seat has good legroom, BUT the tray is stowed beside the seat. This makes the seat most suitable for narrow passengers. It would be uncomfortable for wider passengers

Row 14 is where it is at. All the rookies complaining about row 13 not reclining - der fred! It is an emergency exit row!! Small sacrifice to not wear over ear earphones on take off and landing.. big woop. Oh, and to the whiners from row 13 - guess what - row 14 reclines! Heaps of leg room, rarely anyone next to you as it is a premium product (you pay more for it). I book this seat erry time I fly (which is twice weekly). Not a bad perch.

Worst two flights I have ever been on. VA465 was from Perth to Brisbane, VA466 the reverse.The seats are too narrow and legroom insufficient. I am 178cm tall and weigh approx 100kg, so not a huge person. This aircraft, in my opinion, is totally unsuitable for flights longer than 2hrs duration. Virgin have lost me as a customer. In future I will be looking to other airlines. Their disregard for the comfort of their passengers is a disgrace.

Disappointing to have the surprise of no window when travelling with a child who is looking forward to seeing out the window.
Aircraft is generally tired and old.

The middle seat was uncomfortable as expected mercifully the flight was only an hour long. But to add insult to injury the seats weren't cleaned properly. The backs of all three seats in front were all gross. Have no idea what was splashed on them and had dried, just hoped it was milk and not vomit. Wishing I brought antibacterial wipes now. :(

My seat was fine, no problems. The only issue is there are only two toilets for 168 economy passengers - this results in a queue of 5- 15 passengers down the aisle during the flight waiting to go.

I was seated in exit row seat 13F which is window seat.This is a very bad seat. Being an exit seat it does have extra leg room however their is a trade off. Seat does not recline being exit row, bags must go in overhead, window seat has no arm rest and you are not allowed to use earphones on landings and take offs.In addition because bags must go in overhead there is a lot more buggering around by exit row passengers accessing overheads which can make it difficult to sleep.

Overall, the Virgin Australia Boeing 737 aircraft was a smooth, new aircraft that offered a range of great in-flight services. Including, streamed in-flight screening on any device, great customer service by the crew all the way from takeoff to landing both in the airports and in the air. I would highly recommend flying with VA.

I was unfortunate enough to have to sit here as we have a family of four and the 3+3 configuration doesn't work for us.
The seats are not fit for anyone taller than 175cm and/or wider than a 36" waist. I'm relatively small myself (165cm ) and the seat just fits with about 10-15cm legroom. As so often happens, the guy next to me was way too big for the seat and spilled over to my seat. He obviously tried his best not to but it's physics. For 5+ hours I had to sit there with the arm rest up (he couldn't fit) and kids crying through the whole flight around us. The seats are so thin that as soon as the guy behind me put a bottle in the pockets i felt it in my back side. Sorry Virgin, but you need to do something about the seating in these old planes instead of trying to fit in as many seats as you can.
Also note that there's no entertainment system in the seats and you need to use your own device.

Allocated a 'middle' seat and asked if I could be allocated a window seat. After some tapping at a keyboard Virgin Adelaide staff said there was one window seat left. "Great," I said, "is it on the port side or the starboard side?" "What does that mean?" asked the lady from Virgin. Explained that port meant left and starboard meant right and was told it was a window seat on the left side ... Seat 9A. "It's nearer the front," she added cheerfully. Cramped up against a windowless wall on the flight from Adelaide to Brisbane on 25 May 17, it was my worst ever experience with Virgin Australia.

Not only is it the only spot on the plane with NO window, the seat is right up against the wall. Very cramped if someone is next to you. I had to move. the Claustrophobia in that seat was shocking.

2A or 2F provide the best seats in business class on this plane. They offer the same amount of legroom as row 1 however they offer additional privacy as due to the design of the divider between business and economy, there is very little angle by which an economy passenger can peer into what you are working on your laptop, reading, etc.

I was expecting at least a complementary snack on this flight, but nothing was offered other than water.

I have an issue with the half hearted attempted by a supposed "full service airline" at providing a meal on board. A small chocolate bar and a cup of coffee that might have looked the right colour but had no flavour. Virgin Australia obviously has no idea what being a "full service airline" means......

Heaps of leg room, rarely anyone next to you as it is a premium product (you pay more for it). I book this seat erry time I fly (which is twice weekly). Not a bad perch.

Worst two flights I have ever been on. VA465 was from Perth to Brisbane, VA466 the reverse.The seats are too narrow and legroom insufficient. I am 178cm tall and weigh approx 100kg, so not a huge person. This aircraft, in my opinion, is totally unsuitable for flights longer than 2hrs duration. Virgin have lost me as a customer. In future I will be looking to other airlines. Their disregard for the comfort of their passengers is a disgrace.

for Seat 30d

This isn't a bad seat it's terrible. Staff spend the flight opening cupboards and always BANG them shut both before snacks and after, then chat endlessly and the toilet door bangs the seat almost every time it is opened.
There is no overhead luggage space due to disposable cup storage.
The worst flight I've ever had.

for Seat 13C

I had this seat on the way from CHC - SYD and the seat is ok for the aisle but it has it's ups and downs, I got bumped by the trolley coming through the aisle while I was trying to sleep which got somewhat annoying at times, this seat did not recline due to it being an exit row but i didn't mind that because it has extra leg room and thats great for me because I'm 6'2 and the normal seats in economy just don't cut it with leg room so I prefer exit row over normal for my height
